Presenting an enchanting A-Frame on 6 private acres with an enviable large pole barn. It's an Up North oasis sweetly nestled between Lake Leelanau and Suttons Bay in Leelanau County, suitable for year-round or seasonal enjoyment. While paying homage to the home's origins, an addition to the A-Frame in 1990 gave birth to a large primary bedroom, dining area, extra storage, a small basement, a 3/4 bath, and a kitchen designed for a baker. Stealing the show however, may be the huge pole barn, measuring 62'x40'. It has interior space high enough for a car lift, two 12' tall overhead doors, and two insulated heated rooms. A quaint shed with a lean-to completes the building count. The property lines have been surveyed and flagged, excellent for hiking and exploring the glacial swales unique to the area. Recently appraised at $680,000, the new owner will enjoy instant equity in their investment! This is a very special place, in a peaceful location, ready for a new owner to create treasured memories in this classic Up North getaway.
